Mac Book Pro update stuck on loader bar

Last night I choose to update my MacBook Pro to the latest OS. I left it running overnight. 12 hours later and its only at 50% on the progress bar of the installing software update screen and it appears to have made no progress in the last serveral hours.
What should I do? How much longer should I wait?

Press and hold down the Power button until the computer turns off. The update is frozen. Check to see if you can restart the computer.

My mac book pro gets stuck when connected to internet

hello.
I recently changed ISP and router...
I noticed that when I connect to the wifi of my house my mac book pro gets stuck. the color spinning wheel (of death) starts and shows forever and I can't click anything after that. I can turn off the mac only by forcing quitting (holding down the power button).
i checked the hard disc at disc utility and everything is ok
when i restart and turn the air port off it doesn't get stuck...
Please help!

I recently changed ISP and router...
Do you have an apple router at all??
If so which one?
when i restart and turn the air port off it doesn't get stuck...
So you are plugged into the main router by ethernet??
Are you actually running Lion??
If not what are you running? And if it is that all round Stinker Yosemite.. no surprises there.
As far as the computer is concerned clear out all the old wireless names.. shut down the computer.. restart the computer and rediscover the wireless again and put in the password. Does that help??
Old laptop and upgrade install bad news all round.

After MAc Book Pro update NO Camera on SKype

Updated my MAc Book Pro to OS Yosemite 10.10.2 and updated skype to latest version and since then NO camera. I can see the person I call they can only see a black/gray screen although my camera on my screen is shining green.

I have checked photo booth and that tells me my camera is off.
The green light on my screen is working.
I have checked the USB header on the system profiler but cannot find it in utilities.
I ahve switched the computer off and have had it off for a longer period of time.
All sstill no camera. It seems that everything points to that the camera is there but does not want to funtion in relataion to anything.
What to do or try?
As I am heading for China end of the week, it would really be great to have this skype working so I can check in with my kids whilst I am gone.
Appreciate and am grateful fo any help that can get it to work.

Mac book pro update - blank screen - still going or not?

Hi,
I (extremely stupidly) set my Mac book pro to go ahead with about 4GB worth of system updates without backing up the machine first. It's about 1.5 hrs in, the screen has been black for the entire time but the fans are still going.
I'm not sure what to do - leave it go and see what happens? Is there a way to cancel it and pretend I didn't push 'go'?

Anyone? Please, I'm stressing a bit. Probably deserve it. Silly! Can anyone suggest if its maybe still doing its thing?

Mac book pro update os x 10.5.8

Hoe kan ik mijn mac book pro 10.5.8 updaten en waarmee?

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

My Mac Book Pro is stuck on gray screen when booting up

When booting up on my Mac Book Pro side it gets stuck on a gray screen and wont boot even when in safe mode. I have cleared the P/Ram and still have acces to the partioned windows side on the same computer. How should I procede to get my Mac OS running again.

See if these are of any assistance:

My Mac Book Pro starts up with gray bars and instructs me to restart the sy

I started having problems with my Mac Book Pro last night. It crashed, and instructed me to restart the computer. I've tried the following with the install CD inside the CD ROM Drive:
1) Restarted it with the OPTION key pressed down
2) Restarted it with the C key pressed down
3) Restarted it with the D key pressed down
The extensive Hard Drive test did not detect any problems. I cannot boot from the main HD or the Install CD. I cannot enter safe mode.
On a regular boot up the computer starts up with gray bars and the gray bars fill the screen, the spinning gear appears and more gray bars on the screen. The screen then turns black and then I get the restart message.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Like BSteely, I am curious as to how you ran hard drive tests if you can't boot from the Installer disc? Do you have another bootable hard drive attached?
You might want to try pulling and reseating the RAM and hard drive along with performing an SMC reset. Disconnect any external USB and FireWire devices. You're getting kernel panics during startup which usually indicate a hardware issue.

Mac book pro is stuck on installing snow leopard. won't work.

i recently was mucking around with my mac book pro and soon found my self stcuk with the installation of the 'snow leopard mac OS X' no matter what i did it just wouldn't go away, all i wanted was for my laptop to just go back to normal and get back to what i had been doing only a few hours ago but nope nothing, not even the snow leopard would download to finish things off. so i contacted apple support whom we spent about an hour chatting with. that was basically hopeless, they were very nice but they just didn't know what they were doing, and best of all they wanted to charge me. so at the very ending when they told me that my hard drive was fried and there was absolutely nothing i could do but to get it taken to an apple store and pay for them to replace my hard drive i asked them if i should do the online repair thing, and he told me no i shouldn't its just a waste of time and it won't work. so i neglected him told him a thank you and guess what, i got it to work. now my laptop is good as new and i didn't need to pay to get the hard drive replaced. lol. ok so for the people who are facing this oh my gosh its such a headache but we can do thins. so write these steps down and i promise they will work and you don't need to pay to get your perfectly fine hard drive replaced. ok so shut down your laptop completely. then when its completely off. hold don't the command button and R hold them both down and then at the same time press the on button keep holding them, you can take your finger off the on button but keep the others on the command and R until a white screen appears it will ask for wifi and then it will reset everything for you like when you first got your laptop. just follow through the instructions they give you and all is well. i hope this was help full for you if this happens.! (btw i can't remember if it was command and R or the option, alt button and R but just try the command one first and if that doesn't work then the other one)

My mac book pro is stuck on a screen with a picture of a file

My macbook pro powers on and goes straight to a page stuck with a file folder and a ? mark........

That image means you need to do a restore. See Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV - Apple Support for more details.
You will need a USB cable with a micro-USB connector on one end.
